wait it snows here?
Week 2 in Amsterdam was pretty cold, to be honest. But it was good we are still finding lots of people and being able to teach a bit too. We got rained on a ton the whole week and then it snowed about 3 inches yesterday so that was cool. I had fun riding my race bike in the snow with skinny tires haha. It actually didn´t do too bad. Also on Sunday, we had stake conference and the ward had rented a huge bus to take all the members here so we got to have about an hour bus ride to the conference with the members. It was a really good chance for me to get to know the members a lot better. There are some really cool people in our ward. Plus lots of Spanish speakers so that is fun. On Saturday a member took us out to eat for his birthday at this super fancy all you can eat place. It was awesome, It was super nice he took us there. We ate so much food haha. But other than that it was a pretty normal week, teaching lessons and talking to people about the gospel.
Is there sun in this country
Hola, so now I´m in Amsterdam. It´s a pretty cool place. It is super old. way different than being in Rotterdam where none of the buildings are more than about 80 years. Here everything is way older. We aren´t usuaslly in the city itself much though. We work a lot more on the outskirts of ttown. There is a pretty good pool of investigators already and me and Elder furniss (My new comp) have already found a good amount more haha. The ward is pretty cool, tons of people were gone yesterday so I didn´t meet everyone but it seems like a good ward. There are lots of spanish speaking people in our ward too so it will be fun to be able to use my spanish a lot. We also have a couple spanish investigators here who I´ll get to teach in spanish, I am super excited about that. Also I can´t remember if I said this last week or not but we have a whole house now, A dutch house which is smaller than american houses by far. But still it is a house. Also there is another missionary companionship that lives there with us too. It´s a good time. In the mornings we all run to the church then play ping pong for a bit and run back. It´s great. It has been cold though haha. On saturday I think I had the coldest day on my mission so far. I don´t think I got warm again until I took a hot shower the next morning. I can tell it is going to get colder too haha. Normally it wouldn´t be so bad but as a misssionary we are outside most of the day and it gets a little chilly after a while. Also the sun doesn´t come up until about 9 and then it gets dark again around 4 or so. It is a bit strange. I can not imagine being somewhere really up north. Sometimes it feels like the sun never evn came up haha. It´s all good though. Anyways See you next week everyone.
